The area of the triangle is 2.4 cm, and its base is 3.2 cm. Find the height of this triangle, drawn to the base.

In order to find what the height of the triangle is equal to, which is lowered onto the base 3.2 meters long, and we also know that the area of the triangle is 2.4 cm2.

To find the height, we must remember and apply the formula for finding the area of a triangle through the base and the height lowered to this side.

S = 1 / 2a * h;

Let’s substitute the known ones into the formula and solve the resulting equation:

2.4 = 1/2 * 3.2 * h;

1.6h = 2.4;

We solve the resulting equation:

h = 2.4: 1.6;

h = 1.5 cm height of the triangle.
